It was a very positive weekend for the Lenovo Kalì Kart Team at the Cremona circuit for the 2nd and penultimate round of the WSK Final. Davide Bottaro, who joined the Lenovo squad on the eve of the event, was one of the major protagonists in the OK category. He took 4th place in his Qualifying Group, won a heat during Saturday’s qualifying phases, and dominated Sunday morning’s Super Heat. The Italian driver confirmed himself among the strongest in the Final as well, but starting from the outside lane didn’t help him in the early stages of the race. After a very intense run, he missed the podium by just a few thousandths, despite having it in his hands until the final lap, and finished 4th. Beyond the sporting result, which places the Lenovo Kalì Kart Team colors right at the top of the direct drive top class, the weekend was extremely valuable for testing and developing the Kalì Kart chassis with an eye already on 2026. The entire event took place under stable weather conditions, and many useful kilometers were completed to prepare for next season, with reliable feedback and direct comparison against the strongest teams and drivers in the category.
 

Back to the sporting side, it’s worth mentioning the positive weekend of Filip Stec in the MINI U10 category. He continues to learn in these high-level meetings, especially looking ahead to his full-time program in 2026. The Polish driver finished the Final in 14th place with an excellent race pace. Still in MINI, Filippo Troulis was very unlucky. After a difficult qualifying, he was involved in an incident on Saturday and had to withdraw early from the event. Lastly, Vincenzo Salierno qualified for the Final, showing major improvements throughout the weekend.
 

Team Technical Manager Mariano De Faveri commented: “Davide did an excellent job and deserved the podium. But beyond the podium missed by such a tiny margin, we’re very satisfied with the weekend overall and with the technical information we gathered on the 2026 chassis. We also saw many positive signs in MINI, and our work program for this end of the season is progressing smoothly and according to plan. Next week in Lonato we will also have an OKJ driver, adding another piece to our approach plan for next season.”
